Micheál Carrigy TD spoke in the Dáil: Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation

Micheál Carrigy TD of Fine Gael representing Longford‑Westmeath has been active in the Dáil this week, contributing to a series of questions on policy and legislation. On 25 June he was listed among those who submitted “Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht – Questions on Policy or Legislation” according to the Oireachtas record.

Earlier in the month Carrigy raised concerns about road infrastructure around Granard and Ballymahon, both in County Longford. He asked the Minister for Transport for an update on the status of the proposed bypasses that would link the M6 motorway with regional routes. The TD sought clarification on whether any definitive plans had been approved and what timelines might be expected.

In April he turned his attention to health services, questioning the Minister for Health about delays in providing rehabilitation beds at St. Mary’s Hospital in Mullingar. He highlighted a case where a patient was transferred to the hospital only to find that no suitable bed was available, raising concerns about potential deterioration while waiting for specialist care.

The TD has also commented on recent fuel protests, accusing opposition parties of “playing to the crowd” over government cuts to petrol and diesel excise. He noted that some critics have called for measures that he believes cannot be implemented effectively.

Carrigy’s questions reflect a broader focus on infrastructure, health service delivery and public policy in his constituency. For full details of each question see the Oireachtas website.
